Thread: Better than a 4BD1?

You could try, but the Landy chassis might reject it like an unwanted organ transplant.

On the way to the tip I'm assuming.

with those numbers youd be just as well off with a tdi300.

There was a 4BD1T on tardme a month back for $2k. Almost bought it myself.

The 14BT and 15BT are good engines, the 15BT having better technology and larger displacement than a 4BD1T, but relies on some electronics. However the height (overhead cams) and the exhaust location on the RH side could be big problems.

The NA, 15B is a poor substitute.

You mean that 4BD1 that was set up for a marine application Dougal? I was looking very seriously at that 4BE1 3.6 and Nissan mq patrol box setup that was in a SIIA 109.

Yes. But all it really had was an intercooler bolted to the top, a rebuild of completely unknown quality and it was an 85/86 model like mine. So other than a swap in spare it wasn't any benefit to me.

4BE1 and 4BD1T are largely interchangable. So if you get a setup for one, it's no problem to upgrade later.

4BD1 and T's are bloody expensive over here and we don't have the luxury of Isuzu Bellhousings to mate to the LT95/85

Would you be interested in an Isuzu MSA-5P gearbox (factory Isuzu 4BD1T box) with adapter shaft into LT230 and gear lever adapted to the "long stick" position of the early LT77?
